Bournemouth set to clash with Leicester City at Vitality Stadium in FA Cup Fifth Round showdown this Tuesday. After a stunning 5-0 victory over Swansea City in the previous round, featuring goals from Kelly, Sinisterra, Scott, Brooks, and Solanke, the hosts are gearing up for another thrilling encounter. Despite their recent winless streak post-triumph, including a narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League, anticipation is high for their upcoming challenge.
The visitors secured their spot in the fifth round following a commanding 3-0 victory against Birmingham City last month, highlighted by second-half strikes from Akgün, Vardy, and Praet.
However, Leicester City faced setbacks with consecutive defeats in the EFL Championship, including a disappointing 3-1 loss to Leeds United during a high-stakes encounter on Saturday. Despite initially taking the lead through Faes’ early goal in the 15th minute, Leicester couldn’t maintain their advantage as Leeds staged a remarkable comeback, netting three times after the 80th minute.
